Michael Jordan Highlights vs Hornets (2003.02.01) - 45pts, OWNING HORNETS EVER SINCE!

[@ninjachannel007]

This is a guy who was drafted in 1984 scoring 45 points in a game in 2003. Just think about that for a while.

[@liutauraslingis4285]

The only player who scored 45 or 50 points in all 3 decades

[@darinvee4980]

Also, keep in mind he came out of UNC after his junior year.

@@nandouquintana5709 lmao. What an idiot. You understand THIS era has thee weakest defense of any era in the history of the league right? Euro-ball has utterly ruined the NBA. There IS no more big. Everybody wants to be a 6’10 stretch foward that wants to shoot threes all day instead of gettin their big ass under the bucket and into the weight room. Like I said, Euro-ball has ruined the game. Congratulations proving you know absolutely nothing about basketball whatsoever. I guarantee you’re like 18-19 years old or younger. Probably think Steph Curry is “tHe GoAt” lmfao. Nice try bud. Jordan would average 40 a game in this era. Easily.. Literally, 40 with ease..

[@AGTsakumis]

The fluidity of motion is what makes MJ the GOAT. Kobe was somewhat close but no one, and I mean no one else, will ever come close. Jordan is in a class by himself.

[@praklang264]

At age 40 he play aggressive on offense and defense. But being old give up his knee but his a true competitors.

Old man killing the League while closing in on his 40th birthday. Unbelievable!!

[@bradleyboyer9979]

Though he wouldn't have been able to run the court or play defense very well, I believe Jordan could have played on the offensive end until he was 50. His strength and footwork continued to improve with age, despite slowing down considerably.

[@daveghel23]

his airness moves so smooth even at that age way more effective than kawhi today. crazy

[@azbrown_knight8240]

[@LaboyMoto]

They double teamed the old MJ....

[@zackarmstrong.3089]

Bro “old MJ” specifically during his first season with the wizards (2001-2002) averaged 23, 5 and 5. In his first 46 games that season, before the knee injury, Jordan avg 25, 6 and 5 while carrying the wizards to a 26-20 record and being in the playoff picture before his knee injury. The wizards proceeded to lose 9 out of their next 10 games without Jordan. Jordan at age 38 was one of the top 10 leading scorers in the league during that season alongside some of the best players at the time like Shaq, Kobe, T-mac, Iverson, VC, etc.

[@LaboyMoto]

@@zackarmstrong.3089 I know that's why I said that they double team the old mj :) did you get what my point is? even Mj is too old they need to double mj to stop him. lol I've been watching mj since 90's until his last game in wizards LOL

[@zackarmstrong.3089]

[@shiningking]

@@oneshotki11 yeah true...in 2003, 40 years old mj with injured knees had better stats than rookie lebron...and wizards team in 2003 had better record than cavaliers...old mj literally had a trash team

[@macanthony1982]

this is why Jordan is the greatest ever or top 5, because he worked to adapt his game, as he got older he knew he wouldn't be as quick, so he worked on his jumper since his ROOKIE YEAR.. hence he had a career FG% shooting percentage of 50%....

[@seanjuice9495]

nah bro not no top 5 🤨 he is the greatest ever. that wizards mj was nothing but skill, IQ, will, and heart. for me this is what solidifies jordan as No.1
